Satsuki Then, Dec 5th 2007 Discuss [0]

Amazon is selling the Xacti HD700 for $299, 50% off retail price. The compact HD camcorder captures 720p HD videos. It takes decent pictures but did terrible in low light environment. It records directly to an SD (SDHC) card and sports HDMI output. We recently purchased one for $349 during the black Friday from Amazon.com, but now Amazon.com is lowering the price even more.

Review : Sanyo Katana DLX from Sprint

Chris Davies, Jul 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

Sprint’s second launch of the day, the Katana DLX, might share most of a name with it’s entry-level fashion phone, but the clamshell’s similarities really stop there. High-speed internet, sat-nav and media; this could be the handset to showcase Sprint’s services to a much wider audience.
